Apprenticeships

If you’re 18-25 years old and have a gap in your life, consider becoming an Apprentice at Salmon!

Maybe you’ve just finished school or college and have no idea where to go next, or you would like to pursue a career in youth work but don’t know how to get there…

As an Apprentice you would spend 35 hours a week at Salmon for up to a year, studying for a qualification (NVQ level 2 or 3 in Youth Work) and gaining invaluable experience in youth work.

Alongside this, you will be offered a myriad of qualifications and training. For example AQAs, FA Level One, Duke of Edinburgh Award, practical training in music, rock-climbing, trampolining etc.

Apprentices are part of the staff team at Salmon so you would also be expected to attend relevant meetings, fill in time-sheets and cover reception some lunch times – all part of gaining a rounded experience of life in the workplace!

Being an apprentice at Salmon has helped me to become more professional and gain interpersonal skills. It has been great to work with young people and discover what it means to be a youth worker. Salmon has put me on the right track for the future.
